Three Years of Stellar Discovery: The NEID Earth Twin Survey

The NEID Earth Twin Survey (NETS) has made remarkable strides over the past three years, providing an extraordinary array of precise radial velocity (RV) measurements from 41 vibrant, nearby stars on the main sequence.

A Deep Dive into Survey Status and Discoveries

This report details the survey's current status and presents a complete collection of RV measurements alongside stellar activity indicators. Throughout this extensive period, we've navigated through complex challenges, including calibrating the notorious RV zero point offset that emerged after the Contreras fire in 2022 and pinpointing a previously unknown offset from 2021.

Unlocking the Mysteries of the Cosmos

Using our advanced RVSearch analysis, we’ve uncovered that NEID possesses a unique sensitivity to almost all known planets orbiting these target stars, especially those with periods shorter than our observing timeline. This breakthrough has unveiled exciting new RV signals, paving the way for thrilling future investigations.

Meet the Brains Behind the Breakthroughs

This groundbreaking work is attributed to a team of talented researchers: Arvind F. Gupta, Evan Fitzmaurice, Suvrath Mahadevan, Paul Robertson, Jacob K. Luhn, Jason T. Wright, and many more dedicated scientists contributing to our cosmic understanding.

The Future Awaits: What’s Next for NETS?

As NETS continues to push boundaries in the search for Earth-like planets, the possibilities for new discoveries are limitless. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into the mysteries of the universe!
